Daniel 7:8 I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking great things.
The ten horns we read about in verse 7 and will rise up and persecute Israel, are forming now. Many believe the break up of the Soviet Union is a part of this, but that is speculation at this point. However, these ten nations will rise up from the massive area that was once the Roman Empire, and they will bring great persecution upon Israel.
Out of these ten nations (or horns) a little horn will rise up. This will be the Antichrist; one single man who will be extremely shrewd and powerful. He will appear to know all about the world situation and he will speak all the right things. in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking great things.
The Prophecy says three of the first horns plucked up by the roots. The Antichrist will overtake three of the ten nations by force. The other seven nations will submit to him at this point.
The Jews will believe him to be the Messiah they have been waiting for. I believe he will be a Jew because the Jewish people would never accept any other nationality as their Messiah.
He will be the greatest liar to ever walk the face of the earth and a very smooth talker. Somehow he will convince the entire world that he has the answer to peace in the Middle East. This will all take place during the first half (three and one-half years) of the Great Tribulation.
I trust you are seeing how all these Prophecies are all about the Jewish people; Israel. For 1,900 years these people were scattered around the world. They had no country or homeland. Then in 1948, Israel once again became an independent nation and Jews have been returning to their homeland ever since.
Throughout history, many have hated the Jewish people out of jealousy. God declared them “His chosen people” and many hate them because of it. They have lived persecuted lives for centuries and millions of Jews have been slaughtered by Hitler and other terrorist groups as is happening now.
As we study the Prophecies and history, it’s amazing how God has protected His People. What an awesome God we serve. It will all play out exactly as the Scriptures say it will. We are here for such a time as this. Keep your faith strong and know that God is totally in control in these Last Days.
He will……..turn the tide
